Traditional Food at La Struk, Zagreb

After the morning spent walking we decided to try another of our host’s suggestions and stop for lunch and a well deserved drink at La Struk. This typical Croatian restaurant only offers one dish, strukli, a Zagreb speciality prepared in a whole host of different variations.

Zagorski Strukli is a popular traditional Croatian dish served in Zagreb regions in the north of the country. Made from a pastry rolled out flat and very thin, it is layered with cottage cheese and eggs, sour cream and salt and then various fillings. Once it is baked it is served sizzling hot, ready to eat.

Brad tried Sir Slani (salted cheese) and I tried Bucine Kostice (pumpkin seeds). Both were very different to anything we had tried before and quite delicious. We paired these with a local wine and beer and spent a lovely afternoon relaxing in the restaurant’s outdoor terrace. It was nice to finally sit, cool down and relax.Read more
